Preparing The Bird

Having been married for 10 years she was used to the routine. Every morning at 6:00 AM he would pass gas something awful. He was so regular she could set her clock by it. And of course, at least once per week he would pull the covers over her head before he did it. Trapping her in the stench. As he laughed his head off, she tell him that one day he would $#!t his guts out if he kept it up.

 

At least this morning she would not have to deal with it. She was up early to fix the Thanksgiving meal. As she was cleaning the bird and preping it for the stuffing, she hatched an evil plan. She placed all of the entrals, gizzard, heart, and othe leftover stuff from the bird into a bowl. Carrying the bowl with her she snuck upstairs and into the bedroom, she lifted the covers, and carefully emptied the bowl there between his legs. She quietly went back downstairs to continue preparing Thanksgiving dinner.

 

As expected at 6:00 AM she hears the "trumpet" call of her loving husband. A few short seconds later, she hears him scream and then frantic footsteps across the floor toward the bathroom and then a slamming door. She could barely contain herself. She went on preparing the meal, waiting for him to come down and acknowledge that she had finally gotten even. However, after about 30 minutes went by without him coming out of the bathroom, she began to get worried. As she reached the top of the steps and started for the bathroom door, the door opens and out he comes. Covered from stomach to toe in blood from the entrails. Before she could speak, he blurts out "Honey you were right. I finally $#!t my guts out. But by the grace of God and these two fingers I was able to get them all back in".

    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
    • I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?
    • ... I don't think he could.
    • Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.
    • I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
